Rochester officials are looking for public input on the city's downtown parking situation. City administrators are trying to determine such things as: 

--Overall satisfaction with downtown parking.

--How much the availability of parking influences decisions to visit, work or live in the center city

-How factors such as location and cost affect parking choices.

A Downtown Parking Advisory Committee is hosting a two-session Downtown Parking Summit on Jan. 21 at the Penthouse at One East Avenue, 1 East Ave.

•     The first session, from 3:30 to 5 p.m., will focus on Downtown stakeholders, including property owners, Downtown employers and residents.

•     The second session, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., will be open to the general public. 

The City is also seeking input through an online survey that will available until Jan. 20. It can be found on the City website at www.cityofrochester.gov/downtownparking

The Downtown Parking Advisory Committee includes representatives from some city departments along with downtown and community stakeholders.
